No one will be suprised to know that I decided to save the money and not even pretend I was going to fill in a baby book for Grace. For most significant milestones I have been able to video tape and so she will have some record of her first year. Today, however, I was at a friend’s house when she stood all by herself not holding on to anything.
I thought she might want to know that I was right there – actually sitting on the floor playing with her when it happened. I was in the moment. Not doing dishes or laundry or homework or answering e-mails or anything of the other things that I do all day while she watches me.
It may never happen again. Being no. 4 my attention can be spread pretty thin. So someday when she complains that I was never there for her – I can point her to this blog as proof that at least this one time – I was!

Such a big girl. I can’t wait to see all the tricks she’s learned the past few weeks since I’ve not been able to see her.
